Emergency Operations Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan status is undocumented, and past communication failures during a storm have exposed critical preparedness gaps. Texas state mandates require a completed EOP review by September 30, 2026, creating urgent regulatory and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget includes a $435,000 allocation for security and monitoring services, providing a clear funding pathway aligned with this project. Acting before the September 30 compliance deadline reduces regulatory exposure and positions the district to strengthen emergency response under new leadership.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified emergency communications and alerting modernization as a Top Strategic Priority following documented communication failures during a past storm event. With a Texas EOP compliance review deadline of September 30, 2026, gaps in reliable alerting infrastructure present significant operational and regulatory risk to students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated security and monitoring allocations, creating a near-term funding pathway aligned with this initiative. Acting before the EOP compliance deadline reduces regulatory exposure and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness for the communities served.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented gaps in website accessibility and must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2027. Non-compliance carries legal and reputational risk, and the current website platform presents additional exposure across content and document accessibility.
The opportunity
Two grant opportunities — one rolling and one closing September 25, 2026 — are aligned with assistive technology and accessible learning materials, offering a clear external funding path. The newly approved 2026–2027 budget and recent superintendent transition create a strong near-term window for action.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks any documented safety monitoring infrastructure for student transportation, including dash cameras, GPS, and telematics systems. Unverified public complaints about driver behavior highlight meaningful liability exposure and preventive risk to student safety.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget includes allocations for security and monitoring services, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting now, during a superintendent transition, positions the district to proactively address safety gaps before incidents escalate.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a Google Cloud environment without an identified credential management solution, creating measurable gaps in access control and data security. A stated strategic initiative for a secure and reliable technology environment underscores the operational and compliance risk to staff, students, and district data.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget includes a $219,536 allocation for data processing services and $435,000 for security and monitoring, providing a clear funding path. A new superintendent transition and active security initiative create favorable conditions for advancing credential management investments this fiscal cycle.
